Texas Rangers

After extending its winning streak against Houston to four games by winning the first two of a four-game weekend set, Texas dropped the last two by the same 6–1 score.

Matt Moore lasted only three innings on Sunday but Mike Minor has been up to the task of going deep into games. He’s thrown 19 innings in his last three outings.

He’s also thrown against Seattle once already this season, the only time this year that he’s thrown over 100 pitches. He went 5.1 innings and gave up just one run, allowing six hits and striking out six.

But he was a tough-luck loser in what turned out to be a 6–2 Seattle win.

Seattle Mariners

In the early going, Mike Leake’s home run rate is the worst it has ever been in his career. He’s giving up nearly 1.4 homer runs per nine innings, which is a concern against a team that does so much of its damage with the long ball.

He’s also given up slightly more extra-base hits, per batter, over his career against left-handers than versus righties. He will have to contend with Nomar Mazara and Joey Gallo in this one.

With the exception of a little run in late-April, the Mariners have been a .500 ball club. Their runs allowed vs. runs scored is just about even, though, which suggests the five more wins they have than losses are mostly a result of early season variance.
